Kytocel Improves Complex Leg Ulcers
Significant reductions in odour, exudate and ulcer size, with improved comfort and skin condition by week 10.

Improved Healing in Severe EB
Better healing, less bleeding, and atraumatic dressing changes across a range of severe EB types.

Significant Reduction in Wound Size
Marked improvements in wound size, granulation, bioburden and malodour were observed across varied complex wound types.

Improved Healing in Deep Cavities
Wound-size and depth reduction, less purulent discharge, and easier dressing removal in two complex cases.

Reduced Infection and Enhanced Recovery
Both patients demonstrated measurable improvements in infection control and wound healing compared with prior treatments.

Reduced Ulcer Size, Faster Recovery
Early results showed complete healing in one patient and substantial size reduction in a long-standing MRSA ulcer.
